A Blast From The Past Courtesy Of Bill Hicks
09.18.04 (10:03 pm) [edit]Listening to Bill Hicks tonight, amazed at how well his material from 12 years ago fits to today's world, and this is my current favorite, still highly-topical bit, about a quote from Iraq's now-former leader a couple days after the 1992 election:
"Two days after the election, the papers carried a quote from Saddam Hussein saying 'We have nothing against America, we just want to see George Bush beheaded and his head kicked down the road like a soccer ball.' And I'm thinking, gee, that's weird, becuase that's what *I* wanted to see! Wow! Me and Hussein! We're like this!"
As always, Bill hits the nail right on my fucking head. Too bad it took years after his death before I finally heard him. I miss ya, Bill. Rest in anger, brutha.
Love,
Dougie

I don't want to see Bush's head kicked down the street. I'd like to see it screwed on straight for once.

Do you think there is any meaning behind this: Republican symbol is the elephant, which could be african or asian... Democratic symbol is a donkey / burro. Why not "USA" animals? And the reform party's symbol is a ... a.... ? Anybody know?

I think I once shot something that looked sorta like Ralph Nader but with more hair once while hunting for squirrel.
